Pure Positivity

Need to chill out and just relax to some melodic music? Take a gander.

So today I hop in a car and turn the radio on. Something I rarely do, but I had no CD’s in the car. I heard this song it totally re-affirmed my belief that the radio plays some pretty twisted stuff. I really can’t comprehend why they do what they do, but it is what it is. So I heard all these top stars Drake, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, and Eminem on one track and got me thinking. These are arguably the best in the biz right now. I looked online and apparently Jay-Z said this track is the “best posse cut of the year.” Yo, Jay did you get a chance to hear Cunninlynguists new album “Strange Journey Volume 2?” I think you need to think before you speak. On “Close Your Eyes” you have arguably the best in the underground scene laying down some refreshing lyrical content. Lets rate the songs and decide which is the winner. We will rate this on 4 categories; beat, production, lyrical content, and delivery. So we start with the beat. I am pretty bias on this one and prefer “Close Your Ey

It is happening! Slowly but surely good music is starting to hit the airwaves. Today I got a bit of a reassurance with two artists on different ends of the spectrum, both 100% hip-hop. Hailing from Rhymesayers Entertainment we have Toki Wright in one corner and coming from Interscope Records we have Wale. Rhymesayers is the biggest little record label around. Very few of their artists get major airtime on any radio stations, but they are the most widely known “underground” label.

The problem with labels like Interscope is that many artists feel like they loose a lot of their personnel flair and ability to have control on how they want to create music. I am sure any major label would love to swoop on a group like the Cunninlynguists, but I think they are pretty happy being the kings of QN5.

I have had a couple of these days lately. Song just got released and came into my life at the perfect time. I think it is pretty self explanatory but really listen to it and read the lyrics at the same time if you have to. Love, respect, and enjoy. Horrorshow lyrics Have you ever had a day that you wanted to erase? Tear the page out the history books and try again? But you knew that you couldn’t so you put on brave face And waited ‘till you could make your escape And when you finally got away from the people And the gossip and their judgment and their gaze You let your guard down and something just gave All of sudden tears falling till they are running down your face Whatever it was you fought with your friend or you boss Or maybe you got a heart that won’t mend Or you are struggling with the rent or missing someone you lost Or maybe you are just tired of pretending You feel the weight like a pain in your chest You strain and ache and your bre
